Prada L’Homme EDT Fragrance Review – Here’s What It Smells Like

When it comes to wearing something that smells good and is universally liked, Prada L’Homme eau de toilette is a fragrance you can trust.

I’ve owned this scent for a few years now, and it’s a favourite of many.

Want to know why, and what Prada L’Homme smells like?

Prada L’Homme EDT was released back in 2016, and I have always heard people talking about it. I bit the bullet and got a bottle in 2017, and glad that I did.

What Does Prada L’Homme Smell Like?

Prada L’Homme EDT is a warm and inviting scent, but floral and powdery rather than woody or musky.

There are notes of iris, neroli, pepper and amber which really stand out, and this is definitely one of those amber purple styles of scent that smells really clean.

Prada has a bit of a trademark with it’s fragrances being of the purple/amber style, and this is no different.

I would go to say that this is the best Prada fragrance that uses this style, it’s an inoffensive scent that’s going to get compliments while not being too strong.

Prada L’Homme is quite versatile, and could be used as a fragrance for going out as well as a fragrance to wear to work.

It’s worth noting that Prada have since released other versions of this including L’Homme Intense and L’homme L’eau, but this review is for the original and some would say, best.

Fragrance Accords

How Long Does Prada L’Homme Last?

Although Prada L’Homme is not a dark scent or one with notes that last a long time, I am able to get a nice amount of longevity with this. I was still smelling this on me around 5-6 hours later. It’s one that will make it almost all the way through the day, and will last most nights.

How Strong Is Prada L’Homme?

When it comes to the strength, the big point about Prada L’Homme is that it makes an impact without shouting about it. It’s quite subtle, but you can smell it, as will others around you.

It’s not a scent that’s going to be a knockout punch for everyone around you, but it’s strong enough to get noticed.

How Many Sprays Do You Need?

When it comes to the number of sprays, I advise using however many you’d usually use. For Me, I spray L’homme 7 times. 2x wrist, 2x chest, 2x neck sides and 1x nape of neck.

Prada L’Homme Pros And Cons

Prada L’Homme Bottle

I got myself a 50ml bottle in a set, with 100ml and even 150ml bottles of Prada L’homme available.

It’s a semi-cylindrical bottle, with the front being flat and the rest being curved. The front is transparent so you can see the juice, the Prada wording to the front and a wraparound material in black, making it easy to hold.

What Clothes To Wear With Prada L’Homme

Being a smart style fragrance, you can go smart casual or wear formal clothes with Prada L’homme. If you’re thinking of daytime events, it makes a good wedding guest fragrance for any guy.

You can pair up this scent with a crisp white shirt, jumper, blazer or other smart clothes that will suit it well. You can also wear it more casually, with a plain t-shirt and pair of jeans on a night out.

When To Wear Prada L’Homme

When it comes to picking out the best occasion to wear Prada L’homme, there are many. This is quite a universal scent, so I think it works in all situations and seasons.

Whether it’s casual, smart, formal, day or evening, winter or summer, it’s never out of place. Picking out it’s perfect setting could be spring/summer during the day.

Who Is Prada L’Homme For?

When it comes to who it’s for, it’s not a super mature scent, but it’s not too youthful either. It’s elegant, so I think anyone aged 25 and over will appreciate this, while younger guys may not.

Is Prada L’Homme Worth It?

Back when I got Prada L’Homme, I bought it in a set and got a really good deal, a 50ml bottle for £32 so it was definitely worth it.

Today, you can pick up a bottle for around £60-£70, and I think that is worth it, in line with fragrances such as Bleu de Chanel and Dior Sauvage.

I would definitely recommend getting Prada L’homme. It’s one of the best, if not the best in terms of purple/amber style of fragrances you can get.

Where To Buy Prada L’Homme

Prada L’Homme EDT is available almost everywhere, in most fragrance shops and department stores. You can get this from John Lewis, Fenwick, The Perfume Shop and many others.

As it’s widely available it may be a good idea to shop around, and needless to say, you should always buy it from an authorised retailer.
